I’ve Missed Me, Too.

September 7, 2019 by not your average mom 1 Comment

I’ve recently started watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. It took me a long time to pull the trigger to watch this show. I’ve had friends rave, but for some reason I just didn’t think I’d like it. I was wrong. I LOVE IT. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s about a newly married housewife […]

August 28, 2019 by not your average mom Leave a Comment

Today was our first day of school. Two days ago I couldn’t wait. Yesterday I was feeling a little bit badly about counting down the seconds until the kids got on the bus. The kids were feeling mixed emotions. Number 3 is starting high school. He is excited to swim on the high school swim […]
